A cannulated tube protector comprising a main body, a first pair of securing members extending from the main body, a second pair of securing members extending from the main body, and a splinting member comprising a viewing door. The viewing door is structured to open thereby exposing a viewing aperture, defined as a doorway. The doorway extends from a first surface of the main body to an opposing second surface of the main body.

A top band (1, 1) for garments (2), in particular for medical compression stockings or bandages, comprising a flexible basic body (3, 3) with an inside (4, 4) facing the garment (2) and an outside (5, 5), wherein the flexible basic body (3, 3) comprises a fastening section (7, 7) for the garment (2) on the inside (4, 4) next to a coupling section (6, 6), and wherein the fastening section (7, 7) is formed by an edge-side recess (8, 8) in the flexible basic body (3, 3), so that the garment (2) can be fastened, offset from the coupling section (6, 6) of the flexible basic body (3, 3), in the recess (8, 8).

The instant invention relates to a multipurpose glueless securement means for fastening/sealing applications which traditionally are accomplished by the use of a disposable adhesive bearing tape/or a disposable tape utilizing mechanical fastening devices. More particularly, the invention relates to the use of a high tensile strength polyvinyl chloride (PVC) strip which possesses self-adhesive properties and can be reused virtually indefinitely. The elongated rectangular strips of tape are comprised of 14.1 to 16-gauge double pressed polished PVC. This thickness provides enhanced strength. Due to the unique chemical properties of the invention it has a wide range of useful applications from traditional sealing or binding applications to applications involving contact or application with external skin surfaces.

An improved orthosis apparatus for being selectively formed and applied and removed having offset zipper closures on two shell members for improved hinging and opening and access for initial application and forming when malleable and for removing and reinstalling when hardened.

An appliance for application to the human body for injury prevention, rehabilitation, support, to enhance strength, and to improve posture. The claimed invention may provide an applicator of a relatively elastic material having a first portion for attachment to a first insertion point of a muscle and a second portion for attachment to a second insertion point of the muscle to provide support to the injured muscle. Alternatively, the claimed invention may provide a central portion for attachment to an injured area and any number of extension portions for attachment to the surrounding tissue.

A pressure-sensing compression bandage having a plurality of pressure sensors provided to indicate the pressures applied by and/or the pressure gradient created by, the applied bandage at various locations along its length when the bandage is applied to a limb or other extremity.

A bandage includes a body and an adhesive layer. An attachment portion is defined by exposing the adhesive layer. The bandage includes a first removable dressing component having a predetermined length and width carried by the adhesive layer disposed over the central axis of the body. A second removable dressing component having a predetermined length and width is also carried by the adhesive layer. The respective widths of the first and second removable dressing components being less than the width of the body enabling a side edge attachment portion to be defined proximate the side edges of the body and wherein the removal of the first removable dressing component exposes the adhesive layer defining an end attachment portion of the bandage.

A wound dressing system comprising a wrap and a frangible ampoule is provided. The wrap is configured to contact/surround a wound site and includes an oxygen catalyst. The ampoule includes an oxygen precursor. The catalyst and precursor are configured to form oxygen when combined. A wound dressing system including a container is also provided that includes a powder, wrap, and frangible ampoule. The powder is disposed within the container, which is configured to allow the powder to be dispersed onto a wound site when activated. The wrap, which may include an oxygen catalyst, is also disposed in the container and is configured to contact/surround the wound site. The ampoule, also disposed in the container, includes a liquid containing an oxygen precursor. The liquid is configured to contact the wrap when the container is activated. Further, the catalyst and precursor are configured to form oxygen when combined.

Provided is an elastic band for correcting a joint deformity and enhancing a joint function, the elastic band including: a first band to be attached to an outer part of a joint of a finger or toe and to the back of a hand or the top of a foot, and having a strip shape; a second band to be attached to an inner part of a last joint of the finger or toe while surrounding the inner part, and having a width increasing towards an end to surround side parts of the finger or toe together; and a connecting portion disposed between the first band and the second band to integrally connect the first band and the second band, and having a width gradually decreasing and then increasing from the first band towards the second band, and a mounting device of the elastic band.

Adhesive fascial tape having a composite material of natural fibers, such as cotton, artificial fibers, such as nylon, polyester and elastomer or a combination thereof forming plied or cabled filament yarns forming an openwork structure with a plain, twill or satin weave of at least 3 and up to 10 is provided, which may be broken or crossed both in weft and in warp, and where the weft yarns of the structure have a density of 1-35 picks/cm and the warp threads 1-40 ends/cm. Attached to the said tape is a lower layer of synthetic acrylic resin adhesive having spaces or lines without adhesive, creating a symmetric repetitive sinuous pattern with an angle of 45 with respect to the weft.
